Ideally, we should be able to use of_cpu_device_node_get instead of
of_get_cpu_node which parses the device tree. Not sure if that's the
case here too.

Sorry for following up on this so late. I had a patch in my tree
for-a-while to address that. Just posted it[1] now seeing this patch now.

You can move to of_cpu_device_node_get if all users of this function are
called after CPU's are registered. Otherwise, you can keep it as is for
now and it can be changed once [1] lands.
